Talking About it Tuesdays #126
We had a quiet weekend at home. My husband and oldest son went deep sea fishing on Father's day so I was off the hook for gifts and cooking and celebrating. I spent lots of time reading and crafting and relaxing. Alec has been doing a great job sending multiple photos each day... I don't always know what I'm looking at but it sure looks like he's having a great time.
I hope you all had a lovely weekend as well. We had lots of yummy patriotic looking recipes in last week's party as everyone here in the states gears up for the 4th of July holiday. Of course we had lots of other topics covered too. It really can be so hard to pick just a few favorites to feature each week! Did you have a favorite from last week?

This party will remain open until the weekend. My hope is that everyone will share all sorts of wonderful posts: travel, recipes, how to's, crafting ideas, and more-- up to 3 posts per blog. Anything that is family friendly is welcome; even old posts that you'd like to get some new views.

Your weekend sounds nice- it sounds like everything went well for the guys and not having to do anything always sounds pretty darn good to me, lol. Thanks for the rec for first aid/medicine storage idea for dorms/apartments. I showed what you ordered to Alyssa and she definitely wants one of those filled with basics she may need. She has all of the "things" but not in a handy, organized container.
ReplyDeleteOh I am so glad you liked that idea! I think I need to pull one together for Alec too-- though he more needs the actual meds as he has a rolling case he keeps everything in in his bathroom.
DeleteThat's so funny that Alec is just sending photos but no words. Boys. It sounds like your hubby got the type of Father's Day he wanted. Mine just wanted to be left alone to get some work done around the house. Men. ha ha.
ReplyDeleteI occasional get some words.. but usually only if I ask a question. LOL He tends to take what look like random photos to me too. I've gotten some of a random cat or dog, or what looks like a refrigerated display case (and I can not tell what is one display!). But he sounds like he's having a ball.
DeleteIt's like Father's Day was a gift to you!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are getting Greece photos! Yay!
It was like a gift to me too! But Ben's always pretty easy when it comes to anything gift/celebration related.
DeleteYour quiet Father's Day sounds like a lot like people's dream for Mother's Day ha
ReplyDeleteOh yes, there were a few years I asked for a few hours to myself!
DeleteI love that we can receive photos from our kids so often and so easily. Back when I was in college, I was only able to call my mom once a month. And photos had to wait til the whole roll was taken and then developed. Instant communication is one aspect of modern technology I love!
ReplyDeleteYes! I love the instant photo share. The quality is so much better too.. I was always so disappointed when the one or two photos I was really looking forward to getting developed ended up blurry or had really poor lighting.
DeleteJoanne,

I have not heard of that one but we will definitely look for it. Thanks for the recommendation.
DeleteThat sounds like my kind of weekend! Reading, crafting and relaxing works for me!
ReplyDeleteIt was great!
DeleteSounds like Father's Day also turned into a bit of Mother's Day for you! How lovely! I'm sure you look forward to every update you get from Alec. Is it hot where he is, too? I have a friend who's in France right now and it is sweltering! I hope he's staing cool andhaving the time of his life! Thanks for the party!
ReplyDeleteIt sure did. I know it's 90 there today in Athens so I'm thinking it's pretty hot but Alec rarely minds the heat
